Overview
This Baer Brakes 6T front brake kit in Red, catalogued as 4011002R-2, targets the Toyota Tacoma. Its six-piston caliper sits in a direct mount and grips a 1-piece slotted rotor measuring 13.5 inch across, paired with D1247 pads.
The rotor is cast with a curved vane pattern and is 1.25 inch thick. The kit also includes stainless braided hoses, mounting brackets and hardware, so the front brake hardware comes in one set.
Key features
- Fixed direct-mount 6T caliper with six pistons and a staggered piston layout
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Red powder coated caliper body, CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Slotted, zinc plated, 1-piece vented rotor with curved vanes
- Semi-metallic friction material for the D1247 pad
- Steel braided hoses that carry DOT approval
Choosing the right setup
A red-caliper front kit is mainly a matter of matching the parts to each other. The caliper, rotor and pads must work together, so compare the friction material and rotor thickness before you buy replacements. Semi-metallic pads handle heat well but can be noisier and leave more dust than organic pads, which is worth knowing if you run the truck daily.
Brake hoses and fluid are often replaced with the front parts. Braided hoses resist swelling better than rubber, but they still need inspection for chafing. Check the brake fluid during the install and keep it fresh so the system responds consistently during repeated stops.
- Match pad friction material to your driving
- Inspect hoses for chafing during install
- Replace brake fluid with the front service

Vehicle fitment
It is for Toyota Tacoma 05-23 applications. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Toyota Tundra kits in this line use other part numbers and are not covered by 4011002R-2. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Plan wheel clearance before fitting: the minimum wheel is 17.0 inch, and Baer cannot promise fit with every wheel design. The O080M template helps compare the caliper to the wheel you intend to run. Hoses are for stock-height trucks, so lifted vehicles may need longer ones. A qualified technician should handle brake installation.
What’s included
Kit contents: 6T caliper, 1-piece rotor, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: Wheels are not part of the kit and must meet the 17 inch minimum.
